Fashion Note.

New corsagcs arc deliberately draped
and trimmed.
Epaulets Of jet are favorite adjuncts
OF fall and winter dresses.
Almost anything expensive in wraps
VIII be fashionable next winter.
Plaid velvets are combined with plain
iabrics IN panels and other trimmings.
Velvet ribbons in plain and fancy
designs are stylish and used very gener-
ally
Lace will continue TO he n most pom
ular fabric both for millinery and for cos
TUNES.
Woollcns and plaid velvets are pop
uiar combination, perhaps more than
any other.
The fashionable bodice just now, is
long, rather narrow and fitting the fig.
ure closely.
A string of gold beads is an ornament
which is always attractive, and which is
just now much priced
The surplice vest is worn with an open
jacket, and is made of crossway folds
forming the whole front.
The Swiss waist, laced in front over
puff of sheer null is very stylish, and is
seen on both silk and wool fabrics.
The old forms in china are coming in
again, and one sees the little mug shaped
tea cup as in our grandmoth er's days.
New felt hats and bonnets have pinked
edges of the felt in tapping rows on the
brim and down the sides Of the crown.
Gray berries, known as 'Jobs tears"
which come from the West Indies, are
being used in garnitures threaded with
jet.
There will be no decrease in the use
of jet. The new Partisan effects in this
garniture are beyond anything yet seen
here.
Jerseys are gradually going out. They
are no longer worn by women who can
afford to pay for really we'll fitting cor
sages.
Sicilienne, peau do sole, gros grain
and surah all find places in the list of
suitable materials for autumn visiting
dresses.
a mixed wool material is much used
for travelling dresscs-for instance, a
thread of red and blue in ''pcpper and

filled with pansies of turquoise and lille

as could well be imagined, bearing n
strong resemblance TO West India

quite plainly built. There are, think,
only four Of five brick buildings. and
certainly not more than six. The streets
are of very good width, toIcrably straight
and passably clean. The roadway IS
coral rock; there is no soil to speak of /:
what passes for soil IS triturated coral,
very rich in phosphates and making an
excellent fertilizer, but by itself deficient
in fat. To garden ono must use a. pick
rather than hoe. Very few vegetables
are grown here and vegetation is con
fined mainly TO cocoanut trees. Here
and there can be seen pine or an Alex

can, a few mulberry and prickly ash
trees and popcnack bushes Flowers
and towering shrubs grow in abundance.
